Life in general
... almost be a sin not too with a view like that!!! I'm living in a ten bedroomed house with about 3 other Xpats and the rest are Vietnamese, although two of them speak really good English and have become good friends. My neighbourhood is very local (the Vietnamese version of Chinatown as I like to put it) and all my neighbours know my every move - it’s like being a celebrity here! The house is situated right on a market so I can get everything ...
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Oh Saigon I love you...
... it’s that flash here. This city is going places that’s for sure.
Back at the ranch, it was little wonder after a slightly fraught day in this hot and bustling city that tempers became a little frayed before bed. Come on, it has been 12 days though! Last time we came away we were home by this point so we are not doing too bad!
Goodnight Saigon you wonderful wonderful city, I'll be back one day I promise!
